It was another great time, though considerably different than last year for me. (more…)

Learning to Screenprint
I finally learned to screenprint. I took a very informative class on how to screenprint at the Verge Center for the Arts. It was a 2 day event, all the materials were supplied.
Day 1
We stretched our own screens over provided frames. The screen material is actually polyester mesh. We used rubber cord in a gutter on the frame (like on a screen door) and stretched and pulled the material to fit taught over the frame.

Why My Grandpa is One of My Favorite People
My grandfather, Charles Daniels Jr. has been threatening to die for many years now. It started when I was in my twenties. I remember saying just live long enough to meet my husband… then come to my wedding, meet my first child, my second child (whom is born on the same day as Gpa, 89 years later)… He keeps holding on, and I’m blessed every day he is with us. He recently endured another surgery meant to improve ongoing pain. Some days are good, some are not. (more…)

Happy Holidays Everyone!
Its been a big year! Novella started Early Kindergarten and is learning to write and read, Banyan learned to walk and run and climb, talk, scream, and get into everything. I started a new job with 10up and taught my last semester at Sac City. Justin helped make it all possible while hitting the bike trail as often as possible and keeping our wine collection and his sommelier/chef skills up to par. We celebrated our 11th anniversary, took an amazing road trip to Bend and then the Northwest String Summit, enjoyed lots of weekend trips with stops at local breweries, and ran those kiddos at all the playgrounds along the way!
I hope all is well with you and yours. Best wished for 2014!

My New Home at 10up
I’m three weeks in and almost up to speed at 10up. It has been a very productive and busy first days: meeting staff, partners, and clients, navigating Google hangouts, chat, drive, and calendar, and just figuring out what to say, to whom, and when. Its been a long time since I’ve been thrust into something so new and different and exciting! I’m just thrilled. (more…)

How to Configure AutoChimp to Send Posts as Email
UPDATE: Jetpack plugin now includes this capability so I no longer use this plugin (although I still love Mailchimp).
I originally could not get this to work, so I posted to the WordPress forum seeking help… then I figured it out. Since then others have had the same issue. So I wrote a “how to”. You should have already created a list and placed the sign up form somewhere. (more…)

Noisetrade is Awesome
NoiseTrade helps artists build their fan email lists by giving away free music in exchange for email addresses and postal codes.
We get free music and emails from artists that we like. They have an exhausting collection of all kinds of music from Americana and Folk to Holiday samplers and live tour recordings. Now they even have music videos on the artist pages. When I get an itch for new tunes this is the first place I hit up (I also try the library). I’ve found some great bands here that I’ve gone on to see live or buy albums from.
